A number of conservatives criticized popular right-wing commentator Charles Krauthammer for saying that the Benghazi issue is over, saying they would continue to push the issue.

I just think that as a political issue the country is now tired of it, Krauthammer said on Fox News this week. As a political fact, this thing is done. Unfortunately you only have a certain amount of time, a certain amount of attention, and the clock has run out on Benghazi.

While to many, Krauthammer was simply providing an obvious and realistic analysis of the Benghazi saga: Republicans havent found anything to sink the Obama administration with and its time to move on.

But to others, Krautahmmers comments amounted to heresy.

The conservative Heritage Foundation called his comments shocking, while the lead editor AllahPundit at the right-wing website Hot Air (founded by Michelle Malkin) took on Krauthammer, arguing that [i]ts actually not true that the public is tired of this investigation. Benghazi is worth pursuing, says AllahPundit, even on grounds of political expedience unless it means ignoring other foreign-policy matters involving White House malfeasance or negligence.

But those on the right who have made Benghazi a rallying cry are pushing back on Krauthammer the hardest.
